[vorbis] backing up comments

Plus, if the thing stored the CD id (cddb id ??) of the album or single,
then the 'tool' would be usefull in programs such as CDex so I'd have to do
even less when re-encoding, eg I would specify which file is the backup file
for the comments, then CDex would read the comments from the file when
ripping to Vorbis, and write to the file when a new CD is ripped :-)

If such a tool allready exists, I would be very happy :-)
